The Challenge
Impact San Antonio pools member contributions to award significant grants to local nonprofits. Applicants must explain a concrete need, show how the proposed project will improve lives, and do it through a video strong enough to stand out in a competitive review process. Both partners also faced firm deadlines and needed their stories to remain clear, credible, and emotionally grounded.
Our Approach
Key Ideas developed each film around the project beneficiaries and the practical difference a grant could make. The production combined interviews, scripted material, supporting footage, archival photography, editing, revisions, and ASL interpretation so the final applications were both persuasive and accessible.
What We Delivered
- Story strategy for two nonprofit grant applications
- Interview development and scripted segments
- Multi-location video production
- Archival photography integration
- Editing and post-production
- ASL interpretation and accessibility support

Two organizations trusted us with their vision. Both films helped them win the grants that could make it real.
The Outcome
Boys & Girls Clubs of San Antonio and disABILITYsa both received $100,000 Impact San Antonio grants. The awards created a path toward a new gym and a mobile changing unit—two tangible projects made possible by the organizations, their supporters, and stories that helped reviewers understand what was at stake.
